PRELIMINARY
3-5-5 Connecting the Unit to a Power Source
The connection of the ultrasound unit to a power source should be performed by a qualified person who
has completed basic Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N System User Training. Use only the power cords, cables
and plugs provided by or designated by GE HEALTHCARE to connect the unit to the power source.
3-5-5-1 Voltage Level Checks
The following voltage level checks are required whenever the system is used:
1) Check the rating label at the rear of the scanner, as described in Chapter 1 - , and verify that your
local AC Voltage corresponds to the voltage setting as indicated on the rating label. The rating label
indicates that the factory preset input AC voltage is one of the following:
• 100 V - 120 V AC
• 220 - 240 V AC
2) Verify the maximum power requirement as follows:
• Maximum power = 500 VA (may be required by the system and peripherals)
• 100 - 120 V AC, 50-60 Hz 500VA
• 220 - 240 V AC, 50-60 Hz 500VA
3-5-5-2 Connecting the Ultrasound Unit to the Electrical Outlet
VERIFY COMPLIANCE WITH ALL ELECTRICAL AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS AND CHECK
THE POWER CORD TO VERIFY THAT IT IS INTACT AND OF HOSPITAL-GRADE BEFORE
CONNECTING THE UNIT TO THE POWER SOURCE.
PRODUCTS EQUIPPED WITH A POWER SOURCE (WALL OUTLET) PLUG SHOULD BE
CONNECTED TO THE FIXED POWER SOCKET THAT HAS A PROTECTIVE GROUNDING
CONDUCTOR. NEVER USE AN ADAPTER OR CONVERTER TO CONNECT WITH A POWER
SOURCE PLUG (FOR EXAMPLE, A THREE-PRONG TO TWO-PRONG CONVERTER).
FAILURE TO PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE EARTH CIRCUIT (GROUND)
MAY CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND SERIOUS INJURY!.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE, POWER TO THE SYSTEM MUST BE
SUPPLIED FROM A PROPERLY RATED OUTLET. IT IS
RECOMMENDED TO USE A DEDICATED POWER OUTLET.
THE POWER PLUG SHOULD NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE
ALTERED TO A CONFIGURATION RATED LESS THAN THAT
SPECIFIED FOR THE CURRENT. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
OR ADAPTOR PLUG.
Refer to the Electrical Requirements section, on page 2-4 for more details.
ALWAYS CONNECT THE UNIT TO A FIXED POWER SOCKET WHICH
HAS THE PROTECTIVE GROUNDING CONNECTOR.
